Missions 101, a creative way to think about missions from our conference's branch, Rosedale International. It's been three years since this name has been launched. The aim is to help you think and act missionally, have fun learning about RI's workers overseas, and if you feel called, raise funds to support them as they bring Jesus to the world, the world to Jesus. For the next four weeks, we will help you participate and experience the heart and service of missions around the world.


The Hospitality ministry is setting October 25th as the day to honor our Pastor, with Pastor Appreciation Sunday. More details to come.
